Yeah, I'm curious because maybe there are cases that you guys would want us to cover.

Yeah.

Drop them in the comments.

I just literally got the chills.

That's really, really good to know.

A warning for this episode, it does include pretty graphic discussions of violence, sexual assault of a minor, suicide and murder.

Please listen with care.

So Detective John Jones, along with other officers and the arson investigator with the Austin PD, they stayed up all night searching through all of the rubble for any clues that could have survived the flames and water.

And it's really interesting because we actually do have footage from that night.

John Jones actually had a film crew with him.

They were doing a ride along.

So like we have a clip for you guys of like when that first call to him came through and they're like,

oh, it's a fire, maybe a robbery, and the radio kind of breaks up.

And he goes, can you repeat that second half?

And they go, homicide.

And, like, you can just tell, like, again, small town.

And he just happened to have that film crew with him, right?

Happened to have the film crew with.

So we do have some clips of, like, kind of this early scene a little bit.

So as they're combing the shop for clues, they find a .380 caliber shell casing in a floor drain, had survived, and that gives us clue number one.
